Professional Background

I have been teaching English and Physics for 14 years--Taipei American School, The Potomac School (VA), Queen Anne School (MD)

How has being an English graduate from Duke University help shape your professional success?

Perhaps it's obvious, but my English degree (along with my Physics degree) helped get multiple teaching job offers at private schools coming out of college. I have maintained relationships with former professors, TAs, and peers that have aided me in keeping my thinking fresh and developing curriculum. I still teach a number of texts that I first studied as an undergraduate at Duke.
